Evina Comment

Who freaking cares? Used to enjoy watching them with Pat at the helm. It was aggressive and fun basketball. Now, I can’t watch it for more than a couple of minutes. I’ve tried and only watched about 12-15 minutes this year. Usually at the end when Holly can’t design anything to get a good look at the end of the game. Fire her or not doesn’t really matter. They have lost me to any interest in it any longer. Just pour money into the men’s football, basketball and baseball program as well as softball and men’s and women’s track.

Evina has played like crap the whole season so that is both on her and the head coach. Holly's big mistake was not benching her ass earlier in the year.

Stop defending Warlick. If this was a one time occurence it would be one thing but just about every player that has come through the program since she has taken over left without accolades and struggled to get drafted.

Evina absolutely should continue to play point. Zaay at SG and Massengill backing them both up. Have Davis at the 3 with Burrell backing her up and Collins/KK down low. With a new coach, improved fitness, actual offensive schemes being taught as well as true defense I see this team being much better. However if Holly is back then yeah I’m not sure I’ll be dealing with this foolishness again

If Holly isn't let go, I would expect a few players to transfer. If it gets bad enough that a player speaks out, there will be transfers.

If Holly doesn't have enough talent to win despite her terrible coaching Tennessee will have a losing season in 2019-2020

Exhibit #715 of Holly fan script - take most assertive player on the team and run them down as terrible and discuss how the team will improve once they move on. It's like zombies.

It's the same thing every year. Sadly, I fell into that trap before. I will not do it anymore. It can not be a different player's fault every flippin' year.

Some people are giving Evina sh*t about her comments. That it’s disrespectful. Where were all these people at Holly’s conferences? She never once took responsibility for anything, blaming players like Evina in public. So I guess that’s ok, but please don’t ever say anything about Holly.

Not disagreeing & I think Holly should be gone, however if Evina and the rest could make layups and stop throwing the ball away, we would have many more wins this season. Coaches coach, players have to execute!

Some people want to blame the players, however, this is on Holly. She is the one who is in charge of preparing these ladies for each game, instead she makes excuses for her ineptitude and her lack of ability to coach the players of today. Holly has lost this team all on her own. How many other coaches of a major program do you hear lamenting and pining for the old days. Holly is way past the Peter Prenciple of coach. Every year it is one excuse after another. No matter if you love or hate Holly, she is way out of her element. Westbrook is not the only player she has lost, she just has the guts to say it.

Feel for Evina, it’s evident it hurt her to lose, but it would hurt worse to come back and play for Holly again.

The question is what changed after Christmas. We hit the SEC and all of a sudden lost the offensive flow. We were moving the ball well and playing with confidence before January. What stifled us?

What happened was we ate all our cupcakes first and our tummies were overstuffed with junk when the veggies came around. You're right, in January we hit the SEC. That's what happened.

I had so hoped things wouldn't get this ugly. Totally did not think HW would dig her heels in and have to be dragged away kicking and screaming. She wants to do this some more! In response, the players send out an Evina hostage video. Our own unique version of March Madness.

According to Cramer, Evina spoke her mind for the camera, but she had ample support in the locker room.

My guess is if Holly returns, we won't be seeing the team's top five leading scorers in LV uniform again.

THANK YOU, EVINA WESTBROOK!!!!!!

I sure hope and pray that a coaching change is made and that you stay and flourish for the rest of your career as a Lady Vol. The vast majority of fans are 100 percent behind you and are grateful to you for having the courage to speak out. Hang in there if you can, but if a change at the top isn’t made soon, noone would blame you if you felt the need to go somewhere else. I sure hope that isn't necessary, because I KNOW what you and your teammates will be able to do once you get the kind of leadership you can trust and believe in.

Yeah she's probably referring to the towel boy or something like that. She's f'ing talking about that idiot head coach, Holly "I couldn't coach a 3rd grade team" Warlick. Face it, accept it or whatever you need to do.

This cracked me up, and I needed that. Yeah, no kidding, delusional much? I'm pretty sure Evina is a smart girl, she knew what changes they were asking her about.

I'm surprised the players haven't spoken out before. Actually, we don't know they haven't asked for help before behind the scenes. These kids have been through so, so much crap and criticism, justifiably from us of course. You know they didn't come here to be remembered as the team that broke the legacy.

Holly needs an intervention. Stop her before she coaches again.

Evina has committed a lot of turnovers, but 1 she is a freshman and going to make some mistakes, 2 she is getting very little help from the rest of the team. Part of the turnovers is her trying to create something when nothing is there. The rest of the team comes out and plays lethargic, then try’s to come from behind, which is difficult when you have such dysfunction going on. Watch Evina thrive at another school if she decides to transfer. This is all on the coaching staff.

Evina Westbrook with 6 Turnovers and 6 points, calls for the firing of her coach in the media.

Westbrook should immediately request a transfer to another school. If not, she should be kicked off the team.

So, how many turnovers and points do you have to have to call for the firing of your coach in the media?

It could be argued that precisely because Evina Westbrook had 6 Turnovers and 6 points in a game this crucial we should all call for the firing of her coach in the media.

If Evina Westbrook was the only highly ranked high school player who mysteriously failed to develop anywhere near her potiential under CHW, I would agree she should find the door quickly. Unfortunately she's not the only, just the latest.

I saw Holly's comments. Plain and simple, she's an idiot. If she isn't fired, Evina should give her the Diamond treatment. She deserves nothing less.

Completely agree. There’s a time and a place...in the media after a tough loss isn’t the appropriate time. Maybe I’m old school (37 years old) but my mom and dad would have knocked my block off if I disrespected an adult like that.
